How can I tell if my business is affected?

How can I lift the shadowban?

-Don’t use banned or broken hashtags in your posts. Use unique hashtags instead!

-Don’t use software that violates Instagram’s terms of service. This means that auto-posting software (this doesn’t apply to the “later” option) can result in the post being shadowbanned. In some cases, your entire account can be shut down as well.

-Avoid big surges in Instagram activity. Be aware of how many photos you like, comments you leave, and accounts you follow because too much may get you mistaken for a bot.

-Avoid being reported by other users.

-Take a short break from Instagram. Just take a few days off and your shadowban can be lifted. When you come back, be sure to post manually.

-Report your shadowban to Instagram.Say This: “My post isn’t showing up with the hashtags I’ve put on them.” Don’t Say: “I am losing engagement due to the shadowban on my hashtags.” Also, don’t tell them your account was hacked because that team doesn’t work with the shadowban.

-Consider switching from a business account to a personal account. The reason for this is because business accounts are more likely to be negatively impacted by a shadowban, which leads them to buy ads. Switching to a personal account may help you fall off Instagram’s radar.
